The SteamVac has a heated dry option, 12-amp motor, dual cleaning and dirty water tanks and a limited warranty. If the belt on the SteamVac breaks or is damaged, it will prevent the unit from proper function and will require replacement. Changing the belt is relatively simple. Always turn off and unplug the vacuum before performing any maintenance.
Things You Will Need

Lower the handle on the Steam Vac and turn the vacuum over. Use a standard screwdriver to remove the screws on the vacuum cover and set the cover and screws aside.

Remove any string or fibers from the brush roll with a pair of scissors and lift out the brush roll. Set aside. Analyze the belt to note how it is looped around the belt shaft and pulley before removing the belt.
